The Organ in Holy Trinity Church Schull (information courtesy of Nieland and Creane Organ Builders)
This organ was built by Flight & Robson of London in 1816. It was originally built for the Cathedral previous to the present St. Finbarres Cathedral. It was sold to the newly built Holy Trinity Church in Schull, West Cork in the mid 1880’s. It was dismantled and moved by T.W. Magahy of Cork who enlarged the instrument with the addition of a Pedal Bourdon 16ft.
